There can be swelling for several days in any area treated with Juvederm, and since the temple has such thin skin, it is not uncommon to get some swelling there. You could try using some ice packs on the area for a day or two but the swelling should go down with more time. I would wait at least a week to see how it looks and contact the physician who treated you if you feel it has not resolved.
Swelling and bruising is a normal side effect after injecting filler. Sleep with your head slightly elevated to decrease swelling and use cold compresses 10 mins on and 10 mins off. Schedule a follow up with the injector if you are still concerned after 2 weeks. However, if this does not resolve or new symptoms appear seek attention from your Dr.
It is normal to have swelling after being injected and it may take about 1-2 weeks for swelling to completely dissolve. However, if you are still concern and/or swelling has not resolve completely I would suggest going to your provider for further evaluation.
I think it's reasonable to massage the area and give it time. There is certainly swelling as the filler absorbs water. This should subside in a few days. If it's still large and bothersome talk to your doctor about injecting a filler dissolving agent minimally to get some swelling down.
The swelling is likely related from the minor trauma caused by injection of Juvederm. If it doesn't resolve in 10-14 days you should follow up with your surgeon. If the swelling gets worse or is associated with increasing pain you should see your doctor immediately as these may be signs of a more serious condition.
It is possible that you have bruising and or swelling and I would give it up to 14 days to resolve. If it doesn't, its possible that the Juvederm was injected too superficially and should be removed with Wydase.The best technique for temple injections, and also the safest, is to inject deep to the muscle. There is less risk of bruising and swelling. More importantly, if fillers are injected superficial to the temporalis muscle, it can bulge out with each chewing motion as the muscle pushes the filler outward. This is most important when using Juvederm Voluma in the temples.Ran Y.

Thank you for your question and photo. It is too early to determine your final result as it takes up to 2 weeks for any swelling, lumps and bruising to resolve. You can ice your lips to help resolve swelling and take Arnica to help resolve bruising faster. If you are unhappy with your final results you can have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. Please follow up with injector in 2 weeks for an evaluation. Best of Luck!
Juvederm attracts water, therefore, it's not unusual to havesome swelling and lumpiness in the area of injections, particularly, in thetemple area. It may take 2-3 weeks for the swelling to go downcompletely. At this point your doctor should evaluate the result. If it is not improving, call your doctor.My experience is that Scuptra injections work well to treathollowness of temples, as does Radiesse.
Was this Juvederm Ultra Plus or Juvederm Voluma? In either case, the swelling should improve with time.We all can avoid these temporary side effects by injecting smaller amounts and adding to it a month or more later. I don't like to obligate patients to downtime when it is not necessary.There is debate about whether fillers should be injected subcutaneously over the muscles of the temples, which has the advantage of getting more correction per unit volume injected, or injecting more deeply under the temporalis, which has the advantages of avoiding major vessels and nerves and getting a smoother correction. Neither is incorrect and there are many physicians in each camp. Personally, however, I prefer the latter.
Reviewing the posted photo I think might be swelling, to much filler, poorly place filler or a combination. If after 3 weeks still an issue than use of hyaluronidase injections to dissolve part of the filler. Was it just Juvederm or was it Juvederm's Voluma...
I do hope you had Juvederm Ultra, which is perfect for lips, and not Juvederm Ultra Plus or Juvederm Voluma. Using Juvederm or Beletero and injecting small amounts deeply in multiple areas generally prevents lumpiness.If you still have this problem in a week, please visit your injector....
After lip injections it is likely to feel the effects of the lidocaine (freezing) in the product. Lidocaine is only temporary and should subside within a few hours after treatment. If you are within a few weeks after the injection, swelling may still be an issue creating some asymmetry when...
Bruising and "bumpiness" following Juvederm injections are not uncommon and should go away with time. However, if Juvederm is placed too superficially or in excess quantity, it can result in visible bumps or blanching/ bluish discoloration of the surrounding area.The...
I do believe that mobile areas can cause Juvederm to go away faster, although it is not guaranteed. A good example is in the lips, where results tend to not last as long as other less mobile areas.
Hello, Well I hope this is just a bruise. If it is a bruise then it will clear up within 2 or so weeks. Your picture could be more clear and I cannot touch the site, however, it appears to me that you may have an injury to the skin. I repeat that I am not 100% positive without...
Bruises do change color and shape as you heal. By applying traumeel cream to a bruise post injection you can decrease bruising. Avoid aspirin for 10 days prior to injection and a week afterwards. Tylenol is a good treatment for any post injection discomfort. Avoid hot places after an injection...
